Enterprise Mobility Solutions Dimetra 7.1 software platform

The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business of Motorola has launched a software platform - Dimetra 7.1 - that addresses some of the ongoing challenges users are facing.

The platform provides users such as police, fire or ambulance services with a range of capabilities that allow simplified, higher-speed access to data, improved network security and flexible network capacity and coverage.

The variety of new features will support the evolution of the user‘s network infrastructure while enabling user-specific requirements and enhancing operational efficiency.

The key capabilities are: high-speed data: TETRA enhanced data services (TEDS) supports wider-scale deployment of data applications. TEDS provides secure, higher-speed connectivity for existing data applications and combines image, text and voice to field operatives; security and resilience: end-to-end encrypted logging and playback provides increased security by ensuring that encrypted voice logs are only decrypting on playback. With end-to-end encrypted data, agencies can provide a highly secure environment in which data (as well as voice) can be encrypted while remaining transparent to end-user applications; reduced cost of ownership enabled through next-generation transmission technologies.

IP-over-ethernet connectivity allows network operators to benefit from significant operational expenditure reductions through the ability to benefit from the next generation in transmission technologies.

By being integrated with the infrastructure equipment, the IP-over-ethernet feature eliminates the need for external boxes that interoperate with legacy transmission protocols.

Furthermore, the packet-based nature of IP-over-ethernet networking enables a greater level of efficiency and cost effectiveness.

TEDS provides a higher quality of service for data applications that drive increased operational efficiency such as database lookups. This is an important tool for fire and rescue services, which require fast access to maps, or police, who require image download for missing persons.

TEDS also helps to reduce the load on the dispatcher, as individuals are able to access the information themselves without contacting the dispatcher to do so for them. In addition to these features, TEDS offers invaluable high-speed data services during disasters.

The company’s MTS1 and MTS4E base stations have been designed to support the software.
